Follow these simple steps to ensure your custom garment fits you perfectly. All you need is a flexible measuring tape.
Measure across your back from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, keeping the tape flat.
Measure from the edge of your shoulder, along the outside of your relaxed arm, to your desired sleeve length.
Measure around the armhole where the sleeve joins the body. Pass the tape from the top of the shoulder, under the armpit, and back to the starting point. Keep the tape comfortably snug. Measure over a lightweight shirt or close-fitting clothing, keeping your arm relaxed at your side.
With muscles relaxed, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. Keep the tape snug with room for one finger.
Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist bone, where a watch would sit. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Leave room for one finger between the tape and your wrist for comfort
Measure from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the neck, over the fullest part of the bust, and straight down to your desired dress hem. Continue measuring to the finished length of the dress you wish to order, whether it’s a mini, knee-length, midi, maxi, or floor-length dress.
Measure around the base of your neck where a collar would sit, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Stand straight with your arms relaxed. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and snug with room for a finger.
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, typically above the belly button. Keep the tape level with room for one finger.
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat. Keep the tape level with room for one finger.
Women’s Measuring Guide
All you need is a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, stand naturally with your weight even on both feet, and keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger. Below is every measurement we may ask for. You do not have to get each number perfect: we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, so the fit is confirmed on your body first.
Stand straight with your arms relaxed and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and snug with room for one finger.
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Measure around the area where you normally wear your trousers or skirts, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level.
Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh, keeping the tape snug with room for one finger.
Sit down and measure from your natural waist at the front, down between your legs to the seat, to capture the rise for trousers.
Measure from the highest point of the crotch down the inside of your leg to the same hem point used for the trouser length measurement.
Measure from the top of your waistband down the outside of your leg to the point where you want the trouser hem to finish.
Measure across your back from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, keeping the tape flat.
Measure from the edge of your shoulder, along the outside of your relaxed arm, to your desired sleeve length.
With your muscles relaxed, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm, keeping the tape snug with room for one finger.
Measure around the base of your neck where a collar would sit, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Measure from the base of your neck down the center back to where you want the jacket to end.
Measure from your natural waist for a skirt, or from the shoulder for a dress, down to your desired hem.
Every garment is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, and a free test garment confirms the fit on your body before we cut your final cloth. Bust, waist, hips, thighs, rise, inseam, shoulders, sleeve, and length, all cut to you.

Free test garment first
Before we cut your chosen cloth, we make a test version of your garment in cotton, cut from the same pattern, and send it to you free. You try it on and tell us what to change. Only after you approve the fit do we make the final piece. The test garment is yours to keep.
See how it works ↓6–8 weeks
This is the full production time across two stages. Your test garment takes 3 to 4 weeks to make. Once you approve the fit, your final garment takes another 3 to 4 weeks. Shipping is tracked and comes after production.
See how it works ↓The Dress
Contrast piping is the least forgiving detail a dress can have. A white line on black cloth traces every seam, so if the neckline gapes or the hem tilts, the piping draws a diagram of the fault for everyone to see. That is why piped dresses look sharp on the hanger and so often disappointing on the body.
This black sheath dress with white piping is cut to your measurements in Super 140s tropical wool and fully lined. A stand collar rises at the back of the neck and opens into a narrow V at the front, and white piping outlines the V, the collar, the armholes and the hem. The body follows you through the bust and waist and eases slightly below the hip. A free cotton test dress comes first, so every line the piping will trace is right before the wool is cut.
Price: $399 Cloth: Super 140s tropical wool, 100% worsted, about 8 oz Lining: fully lined, satin chosen in the selector Piping: white as shown, or any color on request Length: above the knee as shown, or any length you enter Test dress: free, in cotton, yours to keep
Free Test Dress
On a piped dress the test dress checks three things more closely than usual. The V must lie flat against the chest, because any gap shows as a wobbling white line. The armholes must sit close, because piping at a gaping armhole looks like a loose thread. And the hem must hang level, because a straight line of piping makes the smallest tilt obvious.
Where the right fit would change the look in the photos, such as a shorter V or a lower collar, we explain the trade-off and you choose.
The Piping
| At the neckline | Traces the V and the stand collar, which frames the face and draws the eye up. |
| At the armholes | Defines the shoulder line, so the dress looks structured without sleeves. |
| At the hem | A clean line just above the edge that finishes the dress and shows its length. |
| Any color | White on black as shown, or any contrast you ask for in the comment box. |
Piping is a narrow strip of fabric cut on the bias and folded, often around a fine cord, then sewn into the seam. Cut on the bias, it bends around the curves of the collar and armholes without puckering. A navy dress with white piping or a white dress with black piping are both popular choices; the stronger the contrast, the more graphic the result.
The Shape
A sheath follows the body closely from bust to hem; an A-line widens from the waist. This dress sits between them: it is shaped through the bust and waist like a sheath, then eases out slightly below the hip. The result looks tailored from the front and leaves room to walk, sit and climb stairs without the hem riding up.
| Fuller hips or stomach | The ease below the hip gives room without adding volume. |
| Straighter figure | The shaping at the waist adds definition that a shift would not. |
| Vertical piping at the V | Draws a line upward, which lengthens the neck and torso. |

How to Wear It
| Work | On its own with black pumps, or under a short jacket that leaves the collar in view. |
| Events | Heels that pick up the piping color, such as white or metallic. |
| Jewelry | Small earrings only; the collar and piping already frame the face. |
| Travel | Tropical wool resists creasing, so it comes out of a case ready to wear. |

Women’s Dress Fit Guide
A dress is the hardest thing to buy off the rack, because it has to fit the bust, the waist, the hip, and the length all at the same time, and almost no one is a single standard size in all four. So you settle: a dress that fits the bust but hangs at the waist, or fits the waist but strains across the hip, or is always an inch too long or too short. A custom-made dress ends the compromise. There are no standard sizes, we cut it to your measurements everywhere at once, and before we cut your final cloth we send you a free test garment so the fit is proven on your body first. This page answers the worries that come with ordering a dress you cannot try on yet.
How It Should Sit
Every dress is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, so the bust, waist, hip, and length all fit at once. A free test garment confirms the fit on your body before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
